Aerodynamic guidance kit for bombs BNB-015IZ is used to increase the effectiveness of conventional aviation bombs combat application against stationary and low-dimension targets. It is designed for bombs of 200lb (~100kg), 500lb (~250kg) and 1000lb (~500kg) caliber.
Goals
  • Bomb hit accuracy increase;
  • Fast conversion of conventional bombs to correction;
  • Planes/Flights/Bombs reduction for stationary low-dimension targets hitting;
  • Platform (base) for different guidance systems.
Features
  • Application on 200, 500 and 1000lb bombs;
  • Combined guidance system (GPS+inertial);
  • Two pairs of control surfaces (canards) for bomb flight control at calculated trajectory;
  • Possibility for other types of guidance system use such as TV(CCD), IIR, inertial, etc.;
  • Target hitting accuracy is comparable with value for specialized correction aviation bombs.
In case of BNB-015IZ application the target defeat probability grows 1,5 to 3 times and munitions (bombs) rate drops 6 to 30 times depends on target type.
In combination with conventional bombs BNB-015IZ allows to reach effectiveness comparable with value for special aviation correction bombs of KAB-500L.

Great starting thread.

I would like to add Neptun and Grom but i guess those two are quite popular and easy to find already.

Topic i am curious about is air to air missile. I wonder why Ukraine can't or havent produce active radar homing AAM's. As far as i browse they only offer support and production for older SARH and IR guided R-27 but not for RVV-AE or other R-77 variant which supposedly assembled there in Artem plant. One would think that being the builder of the missile, it would also be capable of providing support or at least retaining some capability for production.

Cверхзвуковая «Молния» КБ «Южное». Авиационная управляемая ракета в деталях (naukatehnika.com)

"The Lightning is a supersonic air-to-surface-to-surface aircraft missile designed to destroy a wide range of ground, sea and radio targets for operational and tactical ranges of up to 110 kilometres.

The rocket appears to use a direct air-jet engine that allows the Lightning to accelerate to supersonic speed. According to various estimates, it can range from 2000 to 2500 km/h.

just behind the engine is a compartment of on-board equipment, where control and navigation systems are placed - inertial and satellite. This combination allows the use of GPS exclusively as an additional system, information from which only "insures" inertia. The R-360 Neptune cruise missile uses a similar combination."

The 203T seems to work in longer wavelength, somehow, looking by the color of the seeker window. The 36T seems to use Calcium Fluoride while 203T is Zinc Selenide.
 
An AAM variant may be planned (it's called a universal missile), but the specs quoted clearly refer to the SAM version. This is stated outright in the text and deducible from the specs - 30km range would be very disappointing for a 300kg AAM with a measly 25kg warhead! It matches the Russian short-stick 9M96 SAM (40km/333kg/24kg) or Aster 15 (30km/310kg/15kg) quite well though. If they make a long-range variant it'll be interesting to see whether they go the big-stick (9M96D) way or put it on a booster (Aster 30).

well if it were an AAM it would get longer range as it's already flying and have starting speed.

I'm curious however on the state of Ukraine seeker development. With loss of contact from Russian Agat and Altair, they have to develop seeker on their own. The antiship missile one seems to be successfull but will that translate to active radar seeker for AAM too ?.

Yuzhnoye State Design Office is working on the creation of a guided 122mm ammunition to the Grad-type multiple launch rocket system. Militarnyi informs about this.

At the Yuzhnoye State Design Office summed up the results of work for the past 2021.

From the presentation, it became known that engineers and designers of the DO are working on creating a guided version of the “Tayfun-1” 122 mm missile of their own design.

In addition to Yuzhnoye State Design Office, YUZHMASH SE, Pavlograd Chemical Plant SE , Photoprylad SE, State Research Institute of Chemical Products and other performers are involved in the development.

The “Tayfun-1” missile in comparison to Soviet ammunition has an increased range of up to 40 km.

In May 2021, the ammunition tested for medium range and accuracy, and in April 2020, fired at maximum range, and the firing tests was conducted in the Odessa region.

Also during the test, the BM-21 “Grad” MLRS fired with “Tayfun-1” missile at “Shurokiy Lan” training ground. Testing of Ukrainian armament lasted two days – August 17 and 18, 2021.

As you write, if you want to start a new thread, feel free and open it in the appropiated section of the forum.
My recommendation is “Military”
 
Is that a new SAM or something based on an existing Soviet design?

It's a new SAM but I'm not sure what it's based on. This is the only video I could find.

The live firing at the end is definitely S-300. I remember when it came out after 2014, the Ukrainian's hadn't done a live fire of S-300 for years and refurbed some missiles to deter the Russian's.

At minute 42 onwards Zelensky clarifies Ukraine is working on a non Patriot ballistic missile defence system with goal of finishing it within 1 year. Major objective is initially the radar component of the system(mentioned at minute 44) and then the actual interceptor missiles. Reminds me of rumours that biggest issue with the SAMPT was the radar not necessarily the interceptor missiles. SAMP/T NG was supposed to fix this, but Ukraine collaborating with Germany could actually build a better system overall.
 
very interesting reveal from Fire Point about using FP-7 as ballistic missile interceptor leveraging European radars and guidance systems. The system could be in operation within the next 2 years.

FP-7 missile dimensions are larger than both PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. I wonder about the end game maneuverability of the missile. Those late stage High G corrections are what make the PAC-3 MSE so good at taking out Ballistic missiles. But I think this is a practical first step. Maybe they could develop a dual purpose FP-4 missile for a more maneuverable missile I dont know but this is a great practical first step. Would also be interested in seeing how the Giraffe 4a in optimal tracking mode performs against ballistic missiles.

Seems it will use a German IIR seeker. From IRIS-T maybe??

Yes considering they speak about Diehl Defence supplying the guidance system.

Never before seen midrange dedicated strike drone with 300km range and 75kg warhead. Its called Behemoth UAV and uses starlink. Very interesting design choice its clearly inspired by the German Dornier DAR UAV missile family

PAC-2, is that you….under the pink paint? Probably not. In any case, probably another tail control S-300 variant with reverse engineered, or even licensed/supplied Western content.

It appears to be derived from the SA-12.
